Those Obstructing Military Ops Will Be Treated As Overground Workers Of Terrorists, Says Army Chief

"Our idea is not kill these young boys, but to bring them into mainstream."

NEW DELHI -- Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat on Wednesday said those Kashmiris supporting terrorists would be considered anti-national.

"People who have picked up arms, the local boys, if they want to continue with such acts of terrorism and display flags of ISIS and Pakistan, then we will treat them as anti-national elements and go helter-skelter for them. Our relentless operations will continue," General Rawat said while paying tribute to the bravehearts of the Handwara and Bandipora encounters.
